    Took them down on January 4. I did, however, see a lighted Christmas tree in someone's window last night....that made me giggle.

    I can't get in to my closet so they're all still up until I can get some cleaning and organizing done.

    Inside - everything comes down around New Year's. Outside - snow and ice ensures they stay up until spring thaw. We don't turn them on anymore, though.

    We put the tree up and decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving. By Christmas I'm sick of the clutter. Sometimes we take Christmas down Christmas night. This year we were tired from hosting so many people over for Christmas so we took them down the next day.

    We don't buy and put up our 13-14 ft. tree until a couple days before Xmas. And it is so much work, it stays there no later than the last week in January (for garbage pickup), otherwise I'll have to dispose of it myself. Some of my neighbors still have the lights lit on the outside and the I still see trees lit in windows.

    Everything but the tree. The cats like it so much its hard to take it down. It's like a giant 12 ft toy in he dining room.

    LOL! I had a cat who would get inside the tree and smack all the decorations off. I thought my mom was going to kill him!:laugh:

    Mine have been down for a week now. It was really hard to take them down this year because it was so dark and cold and snowy- I thought I would be really depressed without all the lights---but it's kinda nice to have all the clutter gone. I need some generic winter decorations though- it's kinda early for Easter decorations LOL!

    Just brought them down last weekend. My 4-year-old daughter cried the entire time, saying that she didn't like our house anymore...that it wasn't pretty. I told her that we had to, because it wouldn't feel special if we kept it up all year. I got called a liar because of that comment.

    *sigh* Oh well, what can you do!?

    MIne are still up, but only outside. :/ I'm a wimp about the weather, and with it being so cold, I didn't feel up to it. I'm hoping to take everything down this weekend.

    My tree was down the weekend after x-mas... We get a real one every year and after a month of sweeping up needles, you get rid of it ASAP without pissing off the toddler.

    My x-mas lights outside on the front porch are still there.... At least I am not still plugging them in.
